C            Am
Your love made a slave of me
         Em                      Am
but the love you gave, you took away from me.
  C             Am
Foolishly, I believed in you.
        Em                   Am
What a fool I was, thinking love was true.


[Pre-Chorus]
F                      Am
Selfishly you broke my heart.
     G                Am
You were only fooling from the start.
  F                      Am
Still I have just one regret :
    G                    Am
although love is gone, I can't forget.


[Chorus]
C                    Em
Why when the love is gone,
 Am                     F
Oh why does my heart keep holding on ?
    C                    Em
why when the love is gone,
         Am                     F
Oh why does my heart keep holding on?


[Verse 2]
      C                      Am
Your love was sweet when it started
           Em                Am
Darling, why'd you leave me broken hearted.
 C                          Am
Why'd do you swear to always care
     Em                     Am
then walk away and leave me in despair ?


[Pre-Chorus]
F                     Am
Heartlessly, you told me lies.
     G                   Am
Planning all the time to say goodbye.
  F                      Am
Still I have but one regret :
    G                    Am
although love is gone, I can't forget.


[Chorus]
C                    Em
Why when the love is gone,
 Am                     F
Oh why does my heart keep holding on ?
    C                    Em
why when the love is gone,
         Am                     F
Oh why does my heart keep holding on?


[Bridge]
F                     Am
Selfishly you told me lies.
     G                     Am
Planning all the time to say goodbye.
  F                      Am
Still I have but one regret :
    G                    Am
although love is gone, I can't forget.


[Chorus]
C                    Em
Why when the love is gone,
    Am                    F
Oh why does my heart keep holding on ?
    C                Em
Why when the love is gone,
         Am                     F
Oh why does my heart keep holding on?


[Outro]
C          Em
Oh why, oh why,
        Am      F
Tell me why, oh why
        C       Em
Tell me why, oh why,
        Am     F
Tell me why, oh why
